Didn't they throw away one of HST's solar arrays on the first servicing

Indeed, they did. It was the most beautiful video I've ever seen.
Even the astronauts were awestruck as the panel was hit by the
shuttle's exhaust plume and started flapping. They just stood there
and watched for five minutes as it fell astern, then (thanks to orbital
mechanics) pulled ahead of them.

I watched the whole thing live on CNN in the early hours of the morning
(they had nothing better to broadcast). Wish I'd taped it. Every year
I do another search for STS-61, but I've never managed to find more
than a 20 second clip of the event.
